Bucket head?

 

[DynaSlim]

They guy from kiss is awesome too

 

[Ti28]

Bucket head?

I'm almost 100% Bucket head is Paul Gilbert

 

[DynaSlim]

Cool didn't know that off the top of my head. I know you're missing some good Blues players for sure.

 

[Shibby50]

Stevie Ray Vaughn
One of the best

 

[Ti28]

No one will ever know, until Gilbert on his death bed.

 

[SleeperLS]

David Gilmour might be overrated but I fuckin love me some Floyd. I remember reading a biography about them that my old lady bought be one year. Gilmour even claimed he felt they were poor with instruments. That made me like them even more. To me they werent trying to be something they weren't. Seemed like humble dudes. I get what you are saying though.

Santana is also on my awesome list.

 

[Primalzer]

No Eric Clapton, no care.

 

[slashslash50]

SRV, Slash, Guthrie Govan, Clapton, Page need to be added to your best.

 

[Mook]

Santana. That old dude gets my dick hard.

 

[framos242]

Stevie Ray Vaughn
One of the best

I wish I had a chance to see him play at least one time....

 

[Primalzer]

Also slightly offended Yngwie Malmsteen is on your overrated list. Dude can fucking shred

 

[Freebeer187]

No Kirk Hammet love?

 

[slashslash50]

Fast isnt always best.

 

[Freebeer187]

Yngwei is excellent but is it just me or does he get really boring after 30 seconds? Shredding is fun but nothing but shredding gets old fast. I've watched gear interviews of him and he's a real snob and he has pretty bad taste. He puts Ferrari stickers on everything. Including pedals and guitars.

Don't get me wrong, dude seems like a straight up toolbag, but douche-baggery notwithstanding, he can play. Seemed to set himself apart from the rest of the metal dudes from that era.

It's just my thoughts. I put my list up to hear other peoples. I get bored with Yngwie.

Not denying he's good, but to me he has no soul and it's always how many notes can I fit in this bar. It's all ascending and descending chromatic scales with major use of arpeggios and sweep picking..

I'd give my left nut to be able to play like that, but it doesn't fit my taste.

Shit I like Black Label, but Wylde does get on my nerves with all the pinch harmonics.

 

[DynaSlim]

Yeah wylde does do that sometimes. LoL. Led Zeppelin? Did we get them in here?

 

[Ti28]

Haven't seem them said yet.

I like Zep, I didn't mention them because of being rip-offs. Page can fucking play though.

 

[DynaSlim]

I don't have the tone to find everyone's name right now but whets zz top and lynard skynard in this? I mean hells bells is simple enough. I like how wish you were here and sweet home Alabama kind of have simular cords.

I'm drunk now I'm rambling. I'm giving up posting the rest of the day.

 

[FrenchLicker]

Alex Lifeson?

 

[Ti28]

ZZ top is Billy Gibbons
Lynyrd is Gary Rossington(good years)

 

[slashslash50]

Gary Moore? Joe Bonamassa?

 

[DynaSlim]
